I have had 3 of these while living here, number 1 was signed by my GP - she charges for doing it. Number 2 was signed and stamped by reception in my condo and the third I have just had signed and stamped by the piya baan in my village.

1 and 2 accepted by DWP without a problem and I assume number 3 will be as well

I bought from a Honda dealer, one was the latest model and one was year before, so I got a deal on the older one

I got 125 Honda clicks.

I got my insurance online - it very much depends on where you are and your age, it's not a one size fits all.

Get class 1, that covers everything. You also need class 3 to register with DLT but that only costs a couple of hundred, I got mine in the DLT office

Yes

It took me about 15 minutes in the local hospital. I took my passport on to the reception desk they copied the details on to a form, stamped it and carved me B500

I live in Kanchanaburii and in August 22 took my UK licence and IDP, along with a health certificate and cert of residence to the local DLT office and got my Thai car and bike licences without having to take the test. I'm on a non O visa

Easily done and only cost a few hundred baht

I bought 2 Honda scooters new a couple of years back. I chose to buy new because all the second hand bikes I saw had unbelievable milage. Other factors were, seeing how the local kids thrash their bikes and how infrequently they go in for service.

If you know the seller I'd say ok for second hand bit of you don't, IMO, your safer with new

A few years ago I went to CW to extend my non O Thai wife visa. I went back after the under consideration period to get stamped.

When the IO called my number she told me I had to go and get my photo taken cos it's used the same photo as the year before. She even had the previous case papers there to hand, so they do store them and refer to them
